Where do you expect the Houston Rockets to be in the next 3 years?

Simple explanation from me..

If we do not acquire another legitimate 2nd tier star (Not even 1st) then we don't have a shot at winning the title (Maybe like 5-6%)

So playoff bound for us for the next 2-3 years. Not bad but not champion contending.

 

I have the odd dual characteristics of being both easy to please and extremely pessimistic. So really, I think this team is at best second round fodder. But as long as they're not one-and-done every year I'm strangely okay with that.

 

Spurs will finally be on the decline by then I have to imagine, but the Thunder will have an even more improved Durant and Westbrook, making them a consistent WCF lock. Clippers will most likely still be around if CP3 stays elite and Blake Griffin keeps improving. Golden State will be good, though they're a constant injury riddled team, so you never know with them. Not sure Memphis will be anything special by then. And teams like the Hornets, Lakers, Nuggets figure to improve.

I think, realistically, I think the Rockets should be at least making the 2nd round on a consistent basis, while being in the conversation of making the WCF consistently as well. The West is simply too good and too deep to really *expect* anything more. The Thunder are the only team I can really say with confidence will be going to the WCF consistently.

 

I believe another significant player will end up here in the next year or so. I think the most likely reason will be the desire to play with Harden. I think sitting out and building assets until next trade deadline is the best route IMO. Maybe a player like a Deron Williams or Carmelo gets tired of their team and failing against the other teams in the East.

 

Depends. Will we make a move at a legit superstar? Or will we settle at mediocrity by

 

....by signing someone Millsap or Graner. Hit enter too early.

 

Still making excuses of why they couldn't do this, couldn't do that, blah blah blah.

It'd sure be nice if they had a team by then and are contending for something(other than the 14th pick or 1st round exit).

 

I voted finals, but it really depends if another superstar picks us.

If we can't get anyone with Harden, then deep playoff run would be really good with this young team.

If we get a CP3 or a Dwight or something, then Championship within 3 years seems reasonable to me.

 

Speculation: The Rockets will still be in Houston in 3 years from now

 

at least 1 championship or bust.

 

Being realistic, we'll get past the 2nd round, for sure. Everything beyond that is just hopes and dreams

 

people voted nba champs????!!! wow homerism to high and i actually live here in the woodlands. Houston will be second round exit for years to come.

 

Getting another 14th pick

 

Depends on who we get to fill the 4 spot and/or if another superstar comes...

If none of that happen, probably playoff bound with little title hope.

 

If Motiejūnas puts on 20 lbs of muscle and Terrance Jones learns the game, we are in great shape.

As much as I loved Royce White though, I don't think that's gonna ever work out.

 

With the current players and same rotations....2nd round? Rockets need to give the other bench players more playing time....a deep bench is going to be critical in the long run.

 

Western Conference 2nd best team because our second star gets injured 35% of the season, but we get hot late in the season and make it all the way to the finals for a 2-4 exit. We return the next year after adding solid vets to our team and win against the same team 4-2.

 

on top of the world, chico.
